Wet Weather Info

Wet Weather Information

Please never assume that Saturday fixtures have been called off from what the weather is like when you wake up in the morning. PRNA determine whether a game is called off or not on a round by round basis for the morning and will cancel afternoon games at 12 noon if warranted.

The best place to check if your round has been cancelled due to the weather is the PRNA Home Page and you would need to check this site on a regular basis prior to the commencement of your round. On checking the PRNA site ourselves, information would also be updated on our website and if possible on Facebook.

Please be mindful that on a showery day if your round has not been cancelled prior to your arriving at the court, you may turn up or even start the game and PRNA could still deem it unsafe to play and the round cancelled.

The PRNA Wet Weather Policy is as follows:

1. Morning Fixtures (up to and including 12.30 pm round) – Games will be cancelled 1 and 1/2 hours prior to commencement of fixtures. All forfeits advised prior to cancellation of fixtures will stand. A message will be on the answering machine at the courts advising the cancellation of the morning fixtures.

If the condition of the court/s causes a fixture game to be cancelled before half time, this game must be replayed at a later date (as per Item 4 above) and all forfeits advised or otherwise will stand. If a fixture game is cancelled after half time, it will be classed as a game and the result of the game will be the score at the time the game was cancelled.If the condition of the court/s causes any Semi Final, Preliminary Final or Grand Final game/s to be cancelled before the completion of the game, the game/s shall be replayed in full on the following Tuesday night and if the entire Saturday Finals get cancelled the whole days games will be played the following Saturday, and will then put the following Saturday's games progressively behind one week as approved by the Pine Rivers Netball Association Executive.
